As Elder Konglie's words fell, the timer kicked in.

The entire battle lasted only six hours. The reason why there is a time limit. That's because the Thirty-Six Tiangang Illusion Realm was formed by the illusion of the soul of the triangular immortal soul beast and its resentment.

Those resentments had a great influence on the monks. If you stay in the grudge for too long, it will hurt the monk's mind and mind. It is easy for monks to be full of demons when they cultivate, and it is extremely dangerous. However, if a monk is able to cultivate in the midst of resentment without being affected by it, and instead use its powerful resentment power, it will be of great benefit to help break through the cultivation.

Cultivators like the outer disciples who only have the acupuncture stage, or who have just broken through the condensation stage, can barely control their minds in a short period of time in the illusion formed by resentment, and they will not be eroded by resentment. But after a long time, it's hard to say.

This is also why when the Tiangang Illusion Realm, which was rare in the past, opened, the disciples of the Xianqiao Sect who could really win and come out safely were very rare.

As long as they can achieve victory, and then do not be eroded by resentment within the specified time, and lose their minds, all of them are extremely determined people with spiritual wisdom and Dao hearts. Because of this, they were able to achieve good results on the road of cultivating immortals and became the pillars of the Xianqiao Sect. It has made great contributions to the continuation of the Xianqiaomen inheritance and has been revered by the disciples of Xianqiaomen for generations.

And the reason why the outer disciples could only be allowed to enter it was because the Tiangang Illusion Realm formed by the soul and resentment of the triangular undead soul beast was extremely unstable. It is difficult to withstand too much impact of the spiritual power and mana of disciples above the acupuncture stage. It is easy for the entire Martial Arts Palace to collapse because it can't bear it. Not only will the souls of the four undead soul beasts be completely destroyed, but the people inside will also suffer because of this, and they will be destroyed and buried together.

Therefore, Xianqiaomen will control the cultivation of the disciples who have entered the Tiangang Illusion Realm in the acupoint passage stage, even if there is a condensation period, it cannot be too much. Moreover, the number of disciples who entered it was limited to thirty-six. It's like a lot more secure.

And since there are so many benefits to entering the Tiangang Fantasy Realm, why is it stipulated that only thirty-six people will be opened when the competition appears, instead of selecting thirty-six people to open every year? It is because every time the Tiangang Illusion Realm is opened, a large amount of the soul power of the Triangle Undead Soul Beast will be consumed. After each opening, they have to rest for a very long time before they can barely open the next Tiangang Fantasy Realm.

Therefore, the ancestors of Xianqiao Gate stipulated that it could only be opened once for a long time. And every year, in the martial arts competition of the outer disciples, there are exactly thirty-six people, and the chance of winning is very small. Therefore, over time, it was set as a special opportunity to randomly open the Tiangang Fantasy Realm.

As soon as each of the outer disciples in the thirty-six rings heard Elder Konglie's official words, they immediately held the white ball of light in their hands.

Then the white mist that appeared in front of them immediately dissolved and disappeared at a very fast speed, transforming into various scenes. The last 36 contestants were all seen with different topography and landforms.

It's as if they've entered a different little world. Although they knew in their hearts that they were illusions, they were extremely real. Everything that appeared was within reach, exactly the same as the mountains, rocks, rivers, and trees they usually saw.

In the martial arts palace, those Xianqiao disciples who were watching outside the martial arts arena looked at every ring that was already shrouded in a light curtain, and they could see that the contestants in each martial arts ring were standing in the center of the floating ring. They didn't see the same scene as the contestants in the ring.

However, they stared at a curtain of light, and suddenly felt a divine thought release and finally merged into that curtain of light. They immediately felt a flash in front of them, and their whole person suddenly merged into the light curtain, and instantly saw the strange scene in the Tiangang Fantasy Realm, as if they were there. Then they soon find out where the real protagonist inside is.

Those Xianqiao Sect disciples who were watching from the outside were like gods looking down on all beings, staring at the illusion with one eye at each other, looking at the protagonist inside, waiting for the wonderful performance to be officially staged.

Li Zhaoyuan, like the other contestants, reached out and dropped the white ball of light into his hand. What appeared before his eyes was a world that had been scorching all the time.

Under the gray sky, black peaks stood in front of him. The peaks were devoid of any trees, weeds, birds, or animals, except for the black rocks. It's a dead place.

Red lava continued to emerge from the ground, exuding a scorching breath. Among the black peaks, there is no red earth fire flowing out. The black peaks are all active volcanoes erupting with lava.

In such a scorching world of red and black, of course, it is rare to see living creatures.

Li Zhaoyuan was in the Tiangang Illusion Realm, of course he knew that all this was illusory and not real.

But when he stepped into this red and black world, he felt that this place was not just an illusion. Because everything here is so real, so real.

When Li Zhaoyuan's feet stepped on the black rock that was bubbling with heat, he felt the shoes on his feet begin to burn, and white smoke rose from them. He had to immediately use the power of yin and yang to his feet, and use the Tai Chi Gang Qi Talisman to protect his feet in order to withstand the scorching flames of earth fire.

Then Li Zhaoyuan stepped forward again, all he had to do now was to quickly find the guardian beast in this illusion, and defeat it to collect the beast soul bead, opening the passage to another illusion.

The white ball of light that Li Zhaoyuan held in his hand had a special sense of the guardian beast, as long as he mastered the ball of light, he could find the guardian beast.

But it was only a very faint sense. It can only give you an approximate direction, not an exact direction. Therefore, you have to add your own judgment to find the specific location of the guardian beast.

It can be said that if your judgment is wrong, it will be a thousand miles away, and it will be difficult to find the guardian beast. Then the contestants can only be trapped in their own Tiangang fantasy realm and do nothing.

After that, the best case scenario is that no one else finds and defeats the guardian beast, and when the time is over, everyone quits Tiangang Fantasy Realm as losers. But it is more likely that someone else will defeat the guardian beast, open the passage, enter your Tiangang Fantasy Realm and join the guardian beast to defeat you, so as to seize your beast soul bead.

Therefore, if you want to win, you can only defeat your guardian beast as quickly as possible. Don't let the opponent have a chance to join forces with the guardian beast, and you can join forces with the opponent's guardian beast. In the case of everyone's cultivation strength, with the strength of the guardian beast equivalent to the strength of the condensation stage, then his chances of winning will be extremely increased.

So whoever finds the guardian beast first and defeats it is the key to who will win the final victory.

And the guardian beast has the strength equivalent to that of a cultivator in the condensation period, and it is not so easy for those outer disciple contestants to defeat. Therefore, there will be a situation where you have not waited for other opponents to open the passage, and you will be defeated by the guardian beast and directly fail to go out.

Li Zhaoyuan shrouded his divine sense in the white ball of light, and felt the faint connection with the guardian beast in it. Then, according to the strength of that breath, the approximate location of the guardian beast was determined.

Then Li Zhaoyuan unhurriedly released his divine sense, trying to rely on his powerful divine sense to find the guardian beast directly.

But when his divine sense was released, it was as if he had directly penetrated the entire Tiangang Illusion Realm, and directly saw the martial arts ring, and it was impossible to find the guardian beast. It seems that in this Tiangang Fantasy Realm, the use of divine consciousness is ineffective. The guardian beast can only be found by relying on the white ball of light in his hand.

Li Zhaoyuan shook his head helplessly, carefully feeling the faint aura in the white ball of light, and then walked forward slowly.

He couldn't use his divine sense, so he could only use the stupid method provided by Xianqiaomen.

Thinking that this was an illusion used by the Xianqiao Sect for disciples to try, they might have thought that some outer disciples who had entered the condensation period would use their divine sense to find them, so they specially used special forbidden methods to guard against them.
